….OK, so technically it isn’t officially summer. But we’re past Memorial Day, and in my book that’s the start of summer! Longer days, beautiful weather, and lots of fresh air – these days are meant to be enjoyed…and working full time can make that a little tricky. I do my best to get away a lunch […]
(This quickly turned into an essay on the nostalgia of video games and the 80s…but I’m not even sorry!) I am sure everyone feels the decade in which they were born is the best decade there is…but I have to say, being born in the 80s was a magical thing. While I have a feeling […]
(Heads-up: There’s a link to a blog with some strong language on it – if you’re delicate sensibilities are offended by the f-bomb, I’d steer clear. But it’s a good read. So you know…choose wisely.) I’ve always had trouble accepting complements, or being in situations where attention is turned to me. It’s odd, because I […]
When the early morning sunlight caught my eye, I found myself in the crevice between the bed and the nightstand. How she could have left me behind so carelessly was no surprise to me – she was always trying to find a way to leave those memories behind. Memories of laughing in the warm summer […]
**Disclaimer – I am recovering from a nasty cold, so any incoherent thoughts or run-on sentences are the result of cold medicine and severe congestion.** I can’t remember ever really identifying as a “geek” or “nerd”, at least not in the traditional sense of the word.

Well, I’m home from hospital now. I’d love to say it was a smashing success and they were able to remove my cyst and that was the only thing causing my issues. I’d love to tell you that I feel wonderful and didn’t have any issues with the anesthesia. I’d really love to tell you […]
So, Friday 10/10 I went to my doctor’s office to have new blood labs drawn to check my hemoglobin levels. No appt needed, as per usual. I managed to navigate my way through minimal construction traffic, quite a feat in this town as of late…when I figured out which building was my Dr’s (he just […]
I’ve been reading a lot lately about all these cool subscription boxes and I’d love to give some a try…but which ones do I choose? I can see how a girl could rack up quite a bill with these things! I’ve seen a sticker pack, stationery, socks, French goodies….I WANT ALL THE THINGS! I’d like […]
**Just a note – I’m now also a guest blogger on Positivity in Pain – it’s a wonderful place for folks with various chronic illnesses to surround themselves with like-minded people, and we try to put a positive spin on things…even when things really suck. This post was actually posted over there in the wee […]
…or…that wonderful intersection in sports that is September – baseball season narrowing down to the post-season and the start of hockey season. (Well, unofficial start of hockey season…but I’ll take what I can get!) Today my husband and I woke up before the crack of dawn and dragged ourselves out of a cozy bed…all in […]
